Aaron Unknown - Been away in a cycle
See you can't have up without the down
Sky without the ground
Can't have dryness without the clouds
And you can't have Monsoons without the drought
See you can't have humble without the loud
Can't have feelings without the doubts
Can't have smiling without the frown
And you can't have silence without the sound
So you can't have up without the down
Sky without the ground
Can't have dryness without the clouds
And you can't have monsoons without the drought
So you can't have humble without the loud
Can't have feelings without the doubts
Can't have smiling without the frown
And you can't have silence without the sound
So you can't have playlist without the pounds
A-List without the crowds
And I've clocked that we're racing for recognition
And although this light is yet to be found
I am aware that I'm a king already
And I already wear my invisible crown
So now I know
Everything has an opposite
You got to have the best of both to be balanced
And when I say balanced it feels like I'm floating
Like a boat and it's lacking emotion
It's time to loosen the mass
Put within myself refuse to sit dead in the ocean
And I think it's time to declare my devotion
To this thing called music
I got this talent and I can't abuse it
Headphones in on a plane while I travel this world on my lonesome
But for now music's a potion
You thought I was gonna say love
But for now music's the only one there for
Me on lonely nights when I'm needing a hug
Man I swear I've lost trust
In people
And don't Nobody wanna be equal
And now these hidden agendas manipulate
And now our blessings are sent for above
Man enough is enough
I'm in touch with my emotions
I said That feminine inbalance is in progress
And all that negative energy can't
Process because my mind's way too opened up
So these buds that I'm toking
They help paint the vision that's unfolding
I hope my generation begin moulding
Because the system's way too corrupt
You can't have up without the down
Can't have sky without the ground
Can't have dryness without the clouds
And you can't have monsoons without the droughts
Can't have humble without the loud
Can't have feelings without the doubts
Can't have smiling without the frown
And you can't have silence without the sound
I remember
Yeah (yeah)
Ever so frequently I remember
I remember
Said ever so frequently I remember (remember)
Said ever so frequently I remember
I wanna take it back to them younger days
My family's stronger than ever
Multicultured every meal was a wonder plate
Oskosbigosh on my polo smile on my face running round in my dungarees
Is like
20 plus blurred up in Rockwell Park
No quandrum just chillin in the sun for days
Chillin in the sun for days
We were chilling in the sun for days
Let this music play
Let this music play
We were chilling in the sun for days
But now it's bunking trains
Lost in hate
Constantly looking for a bud to blaze
And hoping the bad memories can numb and fade
See I can forgive but I cannot forget the
Consequence of my father's actions
Cuz when he walked out and left
My mom with a chunk of debt
It resulted a life of stress
And she didn't have enough to pay
But she scrimped and saved
Minimum wages to make sure I never felt them hunger pains
All of the pent up agression was vented on
Her I just needed someone to blame although
She told me to transcend into love
She said son, now that you've got a name
She said people motives they can drop and change
Every man for himself in the hunger game
So when your out on road on show
Just know that there's negative energy you must evade
And that's why, mumsy, I swear down this one for you
Cuz you've been my only inspiration
Cuz you Kept me wrapped up as a youth
And I have to be grateful
Single parent when you had the role of two
And you had two jobs on top of the 9 to 5 just to provide my food
(Provide my food)
(Just to provide my food)
